Not knowing who had sent it, or what to do with it, she carried it out to the road in front of her house and nailed it to a fencepost, hoping that perhaps the rightful owner would happen along and claim it. When her mother got home, the lass told her what she had done. Her mom screamed, "You received a haggis in the post? And nailed it to a post? Take me to that posted haggis post, post haste, Hattie! That was my new PU antenna topper!"

I think the point has been proven, as expected. I don't remember when I posted the thread, but it is apparent that PU caters to very shy people.

Why, of course. We all know that the world's best doctors, lawyers, rocket scientists, rock stars and leaders of the free world are a bit reclusive.

I'd love to see a scoop give any extra noticeable HP.

There you go:
http://1346843.estore.networksolutio...ail.bok?no=121

and there are test reports . . . so, ha!

These test reports are proof we have the highest effeciency results over ANY OTHER SCOOP on the market worldwide. Our scoop will substantially lower the temperature of your intercooler resulting in incredible boost and horsepower increases.

But I've asked and the 8-Ball has given several responses (take your pick):

My sources say no.
Very doubtful.
My reply is no.
Outlook not so good.
Don't count on it.

Im happy!




























Happy I have never bought any of their rediculously overpriced parts.

Sad thing is I would actually buy some of their stuff if it wasnt for their huge mark ups and not so stellar reputation.

Nice to have something to vent about. We used to talk this way about LynnEl... but then he turned all cool and semi-OCD.

Surely of the 150 or so happy customers, more than 3 would have seen it by now. How long should we continue bumping this thread to give them a fair chance?


PS....hilarious that someone thought *I* was on the PU payroll

But that's not really a fair comparison. Ralph has a smaller circle of friends than the highly prolific and renowned artist PU.
